Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9902744A1] In a method and apparatus for performing a heat treatment on steel rings, in particular for bearings, the outer surface and the inner surface of a preheated ring are exposed to different flows of a cooling medium such that the regions of those surfaces are subjected to different cooling processes. The flow supply is controlled in such a way that a desired internal stress pattern is obtained in said ring by controlling the propagation of phase transformation from austenite to martensite or bainite material structure.
